Director and Principal Unity Engineer
David founded Ocean View Games after two years as a Technical Developer on RuneScape Mobile at Jagex (2017–2019). Before Jagex, he worked at fish in a bottle building educational games for the Museum of London and Cambridge University Press. At Ocean View Games, he leads all architecture decisions and takes on the technical challenges most studios avoid: server-authoritative multiplayer with FishNet, 64-bit infinite progression systems, cost-optimised AWS infrastructure, and squeezing every frame out of low-end mobile hardware. He holds Unity Certified Expert credentials, the highest certification level available.
Key projects: RuneScape Mobile, Domi Online, Pocket Factory, Nova Blast, Fire of London, Word Fun World
Lead Unity Engineer
Adam joined Ocean View Games from fish in a bottle, where he spent several years building educational games for institutions including Cambridge University Press (Word Fun World), the Museum of London (The Great Fire of London), and the EU Horizon 2020 iRead consortium (Navigo, a Serious Games Society award winner). His background in curriculum-aligned game design gives him a rare combination of technical skill and pedagogical understanding. At Ocean View Games, he focuses on gameplay mechanics, AI systems, procedural generation, and rapid prototyping. His work on the Empires Rise project demonstrated complex AI opponent behaviour and procedural world generation, and he maintains a reusable rapid prototyping framework built specifically to get hypercasual and MVP projects to a playable build faster.
Key projects: Domi Online, Empires Rise, Vocab Builder, Navigo, Word Fun World, Fire of London
Trusted Contractor Network
Need to scale beyond our core team? We maintain a network of specialist contractors we've shipped real projects with before: backend engineers for AWS and PlayFab infrastructure, 2D and 3D artists, UI/UX designers, sound designers, and QA testers. Every contractor in our network has worked on at least one Ocean View Games project. No strangers, no surprises.
When you need to ramp up for a milestone or add a discipline we don't cover in-house, we bring in people we already trust. They follow the same coding standards, use the same tools, and meet the same quality bar as our core team.
David and Adam first worked together at fish in a bottle, building educational games for institutions including the Museum of London and Cambridge University Press. David left to spend two years (2017–2019) on the mobile team at Jagex, working on RuneScape Mobile, then founded Ocean View Games in 2020. Adam joined shortly afterwards.
“Initially hired David to review code for the game at a very early stage and was blown away by his abilities and after a round with the board we hired David as lead developer for the project. He brought with him other developers who also did great work and I can say with full confidence there would be no Domi Online without their expertise.”
“David and Adam's workflow is always carried out with sophistication and passion, providing our team with vast expertise of the industry whilst maintaining a high standard of work and pride in each component fulfilled. Dedicated members who always goes above and beyond expectations to deliver. Great asset to any team!”
“David worked with us on a 2 month project to build a mobile game. He has shown throughout his thorough knowledge of Unity and C#. Communication was clear. And he has made himself available when we needed him most. We continue to work with him on ad hoc basis.”
“David is very patient and has great communication. He is an appropriately skilled freelance Unity developer who understood our project goals from the beginning and worked with us diligently throughout our slow-burn design process. I am pleased that we chose David to develop version 2.0 of our Vocab Builder. Thanks David!”
